A look at ASP.NET MVC 4

Description

ASP.NET MVC 4 is a significant release shipping later this year that brings with it some exciting new capabilities. Learn about the new Web API support it enables, great new features for building mobile and HTML5 applications, async language integration, web sockets, and more.

Please, someone that cares about the quality of VS 2010 get this back ported and released as a hot fix or patch. I can deal with VS being slow and hanging for seconds every now and then... but stopping to respond to the keyboard and mouse clicks is not acceptable.

My company has desperate need for a lot of these features, but no one here was able to install the MVC 4 Beta successfully. All of us got errors, and one of us even had to reinstall windows, because it hosed VS2010 SP1, and he was unable to uninstall or reinstall SP1.

A really cool session and a lot of really great new features coming out.

As for the bug he had, that's a shame, but it's very understandable. To me Visual Studio (and the whole .NET-project) is just amazing. Looking back at all the other tools I used to use, I'm really feeling bad for the old me. This bug is a minor hick up (and should be fixed!), but looking at the tools they're building I can only say: respect!

Scott, I have the same problem with the delete key (and other keys) not functioning sometimes. I haven't quite figured out the source, but I can tell you that if you start debugging, then stop the project right away, it goes back to functioning correctly.

Not exactly a fix, but maybe it will save you a few minutes next time you are presenting .

The minification/bundling looks great! Since MS finally cares about the size of HTTP requests, does that mean the default formatting settings for HTML code will use tab characters in VS11? Will the HTML templates for new cshtml/aspx/ascx/master files use tab characters instead of four spaces? 400% inefficiency = fail, even on a small scale.

@Efficiency:No, spaces are still the default. If you care, you can of course, change it to tabs. If you REALLY care, you could always write a module to remove ALL whitespace from your markup as well on the way out.
